What the record shows
NGG has made 45 dividend payments since 2005 and follows a semiannual schedule. Over the last 12 months, its payments totaled $3.24 per share and produced a trailing yield of 4.27%. The recent average payment increased from the preceding average. The latest payment also rose from the previous one.
Annual totals rose in consecutive years, then fell, rebounded, and rose again through 2023. The extra payment in 2024 reflected ex-dates falling into a neighboring year rather than a change in the rate, so the $2.34 average payment is the relevant comparison. The average fell to $1.5605 in 2025, when NGG recorded its latest annual cut. That cut left NGG without a current annual dividend growth streak. The dividend safety grade is C.

Amounts are per share and adjusted for stock splits, so early payments appear smaller than the cash paid at the time; a year with an extra or missing ex-date shows as a jump in the annual table. Change compares each regular payment with the previous regular one; payments of at least 2.5 times the recent median are treated as specials.
